Default Anyone Remember Gale's Chrome Ended Speakers?

For the uninformed, Gale GS401A's were one of the finest speakers made
in the UK during the 1970's and were only sold in premier stores.

Designed around a Peerless midrange driver, their performace is
similar to a Quad ELS but with more bass and the ability to play
considerably louder.

Gale speakers and their accompanying turntable GT2101 were owned by
Freddie Mercury, Elton John, J. Paul Getty (3 sets), Ann Margret,
Elvis Presley (and his song writers), and Frank Sinatra. Not bad
considering they only made 60 turntables total- they were expensive.

As a point of reference, a pair of Linn Klimax speaker stands goes for
730 pounds (not including shipping).

Gale even sold a walnut version (GS401C) for those that don't like
toasters.
